JMMR Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 Great pick a lot of scouts had him at 15 Leafs get finn though. how good is he? Not many points in SEL But dominated Under 18s and WJC Outscored Filip Foppa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlbalr Posted June 23, 2012 Author Share Posted June 23, 2012 Collberg played most of the year in the SEL, although he didn't record a point in 41 games. On the flip side, I imagine he didn't see a lot of ice time. At the World Juniors though, he had 7 points in 6 games. He's on the smallish side, however, around 5'11.

dlbalr Posted June 23, 2012 Author Share Posted June 23, 2012 From the free guide from NHLMockDraft.org, here's a blurb on Collberg who they had going 17th: "An elusive forward with heaping helpings of talent in his hands, Collberg had a disappointing season in the Elitserien (no points in 41 games). Still, he got minimal ice-time and displayed some excellent production in several international competitions. His flaw is his strength and occasional ‘perimeter’ play – but at seventeen, many would consider him an outright steal." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dlbalr Posted June 23, 2012 Author Share Posted June 23, 2012 Thrower, from THN: "A catalyst for his club and played on the top pairing with 2011 Colorado first rounder Duncan Siemens, where he faced opponents' top lines." Better, still: "He's one of those players who can do it all," said one scout. "Finishes his checks, runs the powerplay and he's not afraid to defend himself."

dlbalr Posted June 23, 2012 Author Share Posted June 23, 2012 From NHLMockDraft.org's guide: "Dalton Thrower’s willingness to go to war with just about any opponent is sure to entice many GMs who usually experience Pavlovian reactions to tough and talented blueliners. Gritty and physically intimidating, Thrower is mobile with some modest offensive upside. He should be an average middlepairing distributor/puck-mover and see spot time on a second-unit powerplay. Still, in terms of pure skill he’s a step or more below many of the defensemen in this draft and with the game trending towards faster, more open play – he could be passed over on day one."
